FedBizOppsl enhance opportunities for minorities
The Federal Business Opportunity is an initiative that President Barack Obama initiated to held the disadvantaged, the minority, and the general citizenry have the same cutting age in the free American economy (Gallagher, 2006). This initiative shall go a long way in enhancing opportunity for the minority. Three major pillars form my belief in this hypothesis. First, the website shall expose the citizens to numerous opportunities available in different categories, second the website acts as a training ground on entrepreneurial skills, and finally, the website increase one’s customer base.
There are different opportunities that present themselves in the business fields but due to lack of exposure, people do not get access to information, especially the minority groups. The introduction of this site, present the opportunities ranging from government tenders, to the prevailing market rates for various goods and services. These tenders, unlike before when only the enlightened could get access to, the minority groups and any US citizen can apply and on fair grounds win the tender. In addition to that, the site also acts as the training ground on entrepreneurship and basic management skills (Gallagher, 2006). These skills are fundamental to the development of any business. Unfortunately, many small-scale business people lack these essential skills hence collapse of many start-up businesses. Through this site, business ideas are taken through incubation. These ideas are then funded by the state to ensure that they create jobs in the country. Finally, the site increases the level of interaction, hence widening ones’ customer base. Through the site, one is able to advertise his/her product to the local and international market. The minority group also gets to know the dynamics of the market hence prudence decision making (Gallagher, 2006).
Factors the Government Used To Design and Build Fedbizopps Web Site
The government put a lot of consideration to ensure that every detailed information are accurately recorded. The first section of the website investigates personal or business information and the activity in the site. It puts in record the date of advert posting, the place her address of the business or individuals (Gallagher, 2006). This section also provides the criteria of following a particular topic that one need information about. Through this section, one is able to find the type of services that he wants. The site is also designed in a way that it shows clear criteria of how one can get started and be registered. This section shows terms and conditions for the services one stands to benefit. It also contains general information about the site how it works the benefits it has for the users, and the general changes that are anticipated to be done to the site. This alerts and keeps people updated of any development. The site contains the list of opportunities that are numerously available (Gallagher, 2006). These opportunities range from job advertisements, business opportunities, and any other opportunity available. The agencies are also listed with the programs that they have. This gives one the opportunity to navigate and get the relevant information needed in whichever field that interests him. There are privacy settings where one registers, the password that an individual chooses assures one of the securities of the information that he has provided to avoid cyber crime. The administrators also have their codes that they use to get the clients information. This consideration of the developments gives one the confidence in the site (Gallagher, 2006).
Improvements that should be applied to FedBizOpps Web site in the future
The site is nice because it provides the information in regard the various agencies. The website there has to improve on its trends of customer’s satisfaction. Here are some of the improvements that the website should incorporate:
Newsletter Subscription
Newsletter subscription is a sure way of ensuring that the customer is in touch with company at all time. The website should be developed in such a way that that the emails of people who visit the site are retained. These should be done, to keep the customers updated automatically of any new product by category according to customer’s subscription. These newsletters go a long way in marketing the products of different categories. In this way, the minority group shall be updated constantly (Gallagher, 2006).
Commenting on articles
There is a need to get customers views of the products and services offered. Creating a block helps in getting people’s feelings, attitude and contribution in regards to the information provided (Gallagher, 2006). Apart from enriching the site with information, it provides an opportunity for making relevant adjustments based on the feedback found for those who blog. The creation of the blog allows people from different part to share in their feelings and take on a specific issue. This interaction creates knowledge hence the spread of information across the board.
Google Map
There is an exceeding need if interaction in the world today. Google maps provide this opportunity. It can be used to display an interactive niche of the targeted geographical residents. This sort of interaction could allow citizens get a lot of information including those that are not presently in the website. Google maps adds immense value to the website hence its functionality (Gallagher, 2006).
Services offered by the website
This web site offers a variety of services; these services include advertisements for job opportunities. US AID advertised job opportunities that any qualified person is eligible to apply. The site in this sense provides a platform for advertisement where people from different quarters of the country can get access to information. The adverts of the job opportunities empower citizens to an extent that those who have would know the available job in the whole country subscribed to the account and those who visit the website. The site also provides the platform where all the governments’ activities are displayed (Gallagher, 2006). The ministries and different government departments display their programs for the whole country. If thereby any question that a citizen would like to know, the site provide an easy access to such information. Such information about the partnering agency of the government and with the government allows removes citizens from the age of ignorance to the age of enlightenment where people act out of good conscience to pursue their goals (Gallagher, 2006).
Through the site, one could upload his resume and any company or organize that is in need of such expertise could benefit from such. The website mark skills of different nature to the relevant organizations. The site also identifies contracting opportunities and contrast available by the government. Government agencies also use the site to advertise their prices for different goods and services. In a sense, the website acts as a marketing platform. It is an empowerment site of our modern time.
